  2. Edge

    A thicket of local streetwear outlets wedged into a corner of Parco Bugis Junction, illustrating the revolving-door nature of Singapore fashion. Don't put off buying that t-shirt until tomorrow, because the shop may well have packed up and gone by the time you come back.

    Once you've fought your way through the hawker centre and the rather lurid wet market (avoid if you don't like severed sheep's heads), there's a whole floor of textile and sari shops on the first level - the cheapest place to pick up an Indian outfit. Prices are labelled, but bargaining is expected.
